History Fridge / Injustice2

* Superman and the Regime seem bent on blaming Batman for MurderByInaction with him being unwilling to kill the Joker to stop his crimes, which Batman doesn't buy into. But one can argue that Batman is ''right'' to not blame himself for the Joker's killings. To clarify, most incarnations of Batman show him to deeply respect the law. Heck, the [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries Diniverse Batman]] outright states one reason he doesn't kill is that death sentences for the courts to decide, not him. One can argue that Joker being thrown in [[CardboardPrison Arkham Asylum]] is the result of Gotham's judges and juries deciding he should rehabilitate instead of sentenced to death or sent to a more secure prison. So in truth his crime that led to the events of the Injustice games is actually the result of [[CommonNonsenseJury a few]] [[HollywoodLaw too many]] [[ForWantofaNail incompetent courtroom decisions.]]

** This actually works on two levels. First, as recent comics have established, there are two aspects of all reality, referred to as the Divine Continuum[[note]]Get it? DC?[[/note]]: space and time. The space aspect is embodied by the omniverse, which is composed of all the multiverses—themselves composed of all the various universes—that have been, are, and will be, and were all recently destroyed and restored during the events of ComicBook/DarkCrisis. The space aspect is embodied by the concept of hypertime, which basically works the way described above, with infinite timelines splitting off and rejoining from each other at infinite points. The universes and multiverses that compose the omniverse come and go frequently, being distorted and changing and stabilizing, but the timelines which make up hypertime exist forever and are perpetually growing and changing with each choice every individual at any time makes. So, in summary, this game can take place in the universe which was destroyed in Telos, but then restored by the Hands in Dark Crisis—or it could be a similar universe in the same multiverse; at the same time, it can also take place be a timeline splintered off from the one where the original game takes place that never went to Telos (or it can equally be the original timeline and the one that was destroyed in Telos was a splintered off story), and which one it is depends on the individual. Either way, it explains why the costumes and certain aspects of the story are different.

* The transitions show that Killer Croc is so close to the new Batcave and Black Manta is also close Atlantis. This is disconcerting to say the least.

* The MirrorMatch combat makes sense when you realize the barriers between the multiverse are breaking down. Reverse Flash mentions it in the story itself, while several characters like Jay Garrick and Power Girl note that something is wrong with time and space. This is also the justification of the Multiverse single and multiplayer modes. It's implied quite a few times (mostly by the {{Guest Fighter}}s) that Brainaic is even responsible for a lot of it.

* Brainaic's ending reveals the Legion to exist in the future, but the dialogue hints that neither Superman nor Batman were aware of them before this. Given what they'd know, it explains a very good reason why their first and perhaps most important role in canon, mentoring the young Superboy, didn't happen. Given how Superman would later act, they had a good reason to not do this. Heck, their absence from this role might have been a factor in his later actions just as much as the previous game's fridge page noted the difference that Luthor not being evil likely had on his mental state. Without their interactions Superman never was shown that good old fashioned heroics were what would be remembered, and that he'd have to do better with his legacy.

** Michaelangelo vs Black Manta - Mikey has always been known to annoy even the craziest of villains in their world, no matter how stoic they are. It makes sense that a deranged killer like Black Manta is who Mikey is pitted against. Bonus points for Manta ALMOST resembling Shredder for being armoured, sharp weapon wielding killers and leaders of their own assassin group.

* Many fans of Diana were not happy about how easily she fell in with Superman's side. However, the flashback to the first annual explains it by showing how Diana discovered Steve Trevor was a Nazi spy and executed him. Instead of Steve being her guide to the best of humanity, he showed Diana how a regular human could be a murderous traitor and lying to her all this time. Because of that, Diana's view of "Man's World" was automatically darkened. Thus, it would be all too easy for this Diana to decide Superman is right in his attempts to "save" a species she finds so corrupt.

* It makes sense for the version of The Atom in the game to be Ryan Choi instead of Ray Palmer when you consider the fact that the Firestorm in this game is Jason Rusch instead of Ronnie Raymond and Blue Beatle Jaime Reyes instead of Ted Kord (or even Dan Garrett).

* Damian's constant exhortations that Nightwing's death was an accidental fall on deaf ears, [[CassandraTruth even though he's telling the truth]]. Why does no one believe him? It's possible that it's because he joined the Regime, but it's even more likely that he fell straight into a trap that Batman has been keenly aware of from the beginning and has no doubt considered throughout his career--the moment you deliberately choose to kill, every single death that is remotely your fault comes under suspicion. Because of Damian's willingness to kill in the past, the mere ''possibility'' that Nightwing's death was deliberate now exists, and permanently colors other characters' opinions of him.

It's possible that it's because he joined the Regime, but it's even more likely that he nearly fell into a trap that Batman has been keenly aware of from the beginning and has no doubt considered throughout his career--the moment you deliberately choose to kill, every single death that is remotely your fault comes under suspicion. Because of Damian's willingness to kill in the past, the mere ''possibility'' that Nightwing's death was deliberate now exists, and permanently colors other characters' opinions of him.

* Why does this Scarecrow look more supernatural than the usual? Because in the comics, he was killed or at least seriously injured by the alternate Joker. During the time between the two games, he was somehow resurrected and given stronger powers.
